Kinky straight hair extensions are a favorite of many African Americans because they replicate the natural African hair texture. It combines luster, softness, and the natural kinky texture in different thickness levels. The clip-in extensions also make it more comfortable and convenient to put on and take off at will, making it all the more attractive.

This post is a tell-all guide to kinky straight clip-in extensions.

These beautiful hair extensions can come from any of four sources, which are Brazilian, Malaysian, Indian, and Peruvian. Brazilian extensions maintain the cuticles intact and are often more durable. The strength of Peruvian hair is in its ease of reshaping, styling, and even curling when necessary. Malaysian hair has a kinky and silky look, while Indian hair has low maintenance as its strength.

Kinky straight clip-in extensions have a lot of positives going for them. First, they look as natural as African American hair looks, and they are easy to blend. They deliver a full, thick texture that helps to fill out scanty hair. They can be blown out, flat ironed, and can even hold curls if you wish to go that way. These clip-in extensions are also super easy to install and easy on your hair.

There are three easy ways to style your kinky straight clip-in extensions.

First, you can maintain the original style of the extension and simply clip them in, comb the hair out, apply a spray, and enjoy the original look.

Alternatively, you can create a sleek look using a flat iron. First, apply heat protection spray and then follow with a small amount of styling cream.

Then, take up small sections of your hair through your flat iron and use a rat tail comb to comb through them.

A third style would be the one where you need a curling wand to give your hair some waves. Begin by using a flat iron to make your hair extension straight, apply styling foam, and then create body waves using the wand curl. You can also skip the flat ironing stage and just comb out the extension and use the curl wand to get the curls to your taste.

Once the curls are ready, comb them out with a wide-tooth comb and apply hairspray for a firm hold.

Here’s a simple care guide for your clip-in hair extension:

• Always brush with a wide-tooth comb to avoid tangling. Use a detangling spray and brush when necessary. Brush from ends up when detangling, and not from root to ends to prevent shedding.
• Use the right shampoo and conditioner when washing. Co-washing frequently is also advised.
• Moisturize your extension frequently using oils like argan and olive oil. Avoid over-oiling and overusing products like spray gels and
• Minimize exposure to heat, and don’t wash too frequently.

Ensure that the extension is made of high-quality natural virgin hair material that doesn’t tangle or shed. 100% human hair is always the real deal.

The clip-ins should be firm and distributed properly throughout the hair extension to hold properly when worn.

Consider the nature, length, and weight of your hair to ensure you get the most suitable extension. For instance, if your hair is short or you have a fine hair texture, you should go for a lighter extension.
